The runner-up title was given away jointly to Infosys and another of its clients Procter & Gamble.

"This is a significant honour, given that the awards are open to end-users as well as captives and outsourced shared services organisations from all countries," Infosys BPO's COO Ritesh Idnani said in a statement released today.
